CSS - cookie stickienss - HTTP-Continuations

jfoerster — Fri, 02 Dec 2005 14:53:32 GMT

Hi,

I'm experiencing some strange behavior having configured cookie stickiness. In the request towards the CSS I see a cookie. The request is not forwarded to the correct server but to another server. Normaly this is working except if we are having some HTTP-Continuations. Is it possible, that the CSS is not listening correctly to this request or is missinterpreting something which leads to a rebalancing of the request instead of sticking to the correct server.

If I do layer3 stickiness and a layer 4 rule everything is working fine but I need to have cookie stickiness.

Any hint or advise is welcome.

Kind Regards,

Joerg

I'm running WEBNS 7.40 2.2

Joerg,

is it happening all the time ?

Or just for some particular users ?

Anything specific ?

Can we get a trace showing the problem [from syn to fin] as well as the complete config.

Thanks,

Gilles.

HI Gilles,

I fouind the reason. It's the spanning packets command I've to use as in default "only" 6 packets are checked for the sticky string. The problem was that the last part of the string was in packet 7 or 8 and therefor it was not parsable.

Thanks for your help.

Kind Regards,

Joerg
